Intern, Lansner and Kubitschek Tobias Smith '05         (L to R) Upper Row: Adam Gordon, Ali Najmi, Tobias Smith, Alicia Kim, April Gentile-Miserandino. Lower Row: Okan Akmehmet, Indra Raj Lansner and Kubitschek is a small, private, socially conscientious law firm co-founded by Carolyn Kubitschek '70. I was one of seven Oberlin interns, each paired with a paralegal. I worked on everything from individual Social Security disability claims to large class-action lawsuits. We were all treated like full members of the office community; we sat in on client interviews, digested records, and even drafted legal documents. I saw the full breadth of the court system, from tiny family courtrooms to the imposing Second Circuit Court of Appeals. I expected this internship to give me real-world exposure to the ins and outs of the life of a lawyer. My intention was to survey everyday experiences in a typical firm to see if they could be molded to my Oberlin values. I am still unsure if I will pursue a law career, but I realize that I owe it to myself to maintain the values engendered by an Oberlin education, and also to live up to the examples set by alumni who embody those values in the wider world.
